5 Reasons You Might Have Been Ghosted After a First Date

Getting ghosted is one of the worst feelings in the world. You are left wondering what you did to cause the person to get up and vanish from your life. It’s even worse if you’ve been ghosted after a first date!

So you went on a date, felt really good about it, and couldn’t wait to see them again. And you were convinced the feeling was mutual.

But then you send them a couple of texts, but get no response. Were things really that bad? How come they never gave you a hint that they didn’t like you?

Why did they ghost you? Here are 5 possible reasons along with ways to handle it.

1. They are cheating on their significant other

The scenario: They told you they were single and ready to mingle. Turns out, only the second half of that sentence was true. You were never meant to be anything more than the guy/girl they had on the side. Perhaps their significant other found out. Or they had become overwhelmed with guilt.

How to put it into perspective: Let’s be honest — do you really want to associate yourself with somebody who is willing to ruin their marriage or long-term relationship? If they were willing to potentially leave their partner for you, it would only be a matter of time before they replaced you with somebody else.
